These algorithms really know what they’re doing because I JUST posted about this! My weird relative left a super nasty comment on one of my videos. I shared it because it pretty much sums up why [an extreme case] you shouldn’t consider friends and family your target audience/customer for any business endeavor. I haven’t and after 5 yrs in business I feel no resentment towards anyone who doesn’t buy from me, share a post or anything. It’s all good! 👏🏽👏🏽
I always wanted to create content & did in 2020 but stopped because I knew I wasn’t being myself my family and friends knew my social medias. Then this year blocked everyone I knew and finally felt like I could be myself and not worry about their opinions. Some have found me now but I tell myself oh well I’m here now ❤ love your videos btw ❤
I agree with this so deeply! I’ve been saying this for years. Whenever I’m starting something new it’s a new social media account and no one knows. Your friends are likely not your target audience and that’s perfectly fine. Empty “dead” followers does more damage than good. The right people will come along and support! Thank you!
This is an interesting perspective. I don't know if I have the energy to change and make new pages, but as I start to post on my UA-cam page I am going to try not to share. I like the idea of not having forced support and letting your target audience find you.
Yes girl! You get it, stay incognito to those around you! I have my close friends which I feel comfortable with but I’m glad I didn’t reveal my other platforms to everyone!
I wish I had done this before starting my blog because I’ve had friends give unsolicited advice. I think it’s why I’m having such a hard time showing up in a way that’s more natural. Having too many cooks in the kitchen makes it hard, so I’m more careful about who I talk to about my creative endeavors now.
Every word you said in this video is sooo true! I live in Atlanta and have been wanting to move to Cali for years now and its starting to seem more possible with the fact that I am a UA-cam creator as well. I would love to hear your story on how you boldly made that move.
this is really helpful. I started my stuff on my original accounts and it took me the LONGEST time to merge my worlds of social media, advocacy, and personal life on Instagram. But Tiktok + UA-cam have been so beautiful because it feels like a new slate and then I don't carry the "cultural" expectations was well. Thank you!
I did the same and it has helped so much. I get the question all the time how I’m able to show up so authentically and it’s cause I don’t have family on my account 😅
Of course it all makes sense. How uncomfortable to know that your family and friends are watching closely your activities, your thoughts, your success and your failures. I haven't started a channel yet but thank you so much for your advice. I have the same feelings😊 I feel free to give my opinion and to express my thoughts bc I am between strangers😁😁 Real friends dont exist anyway. I recently asked for a work reference from someone I considered my best friend. She has been working for the same company for years: however: she didnt move a finger to help me find a job there even when the position was opened That really hit me bc I really needed the job & she knows. I was expecting the best reference ever. Nope. "Friends and family watch only for their own convenience. Thank you for sharing!!! I recently retired and I now discover that I dont have friends to go out with. I dont have money to go out either😁😁 But watching yt videos like yours make me feel that I am not alone and you all are sharing experiences that I can apply in my search to a better life . Thank you for sharing!!❤
I started my UA-cam 6 months ago and I haven’t told anyone, some days I wrestle between sharing that because I get discouraged by the slow growth and in my mind I be thinking the’ll help share my content be encouraging…. But it’s all expectations I’m putting on them which I shouldn’t and whose to say they’ll actually be a positive force😂😂😂 so I just left it, if they come across it then they do, they’ll choose what to do with it then😂

Your perspective is refreshing. I love that you explain your ideas in such an authentic way. Thanks so much!

This is a fabulous topic! So spot on!

2:19 😂 me sitting up to listen to your research and then boom no im not going to talk about it 😅😢
I don't think I told many they found me. I am not telling anyone my secrets and that is friends or foe. Anyone can see me.
I didn’t tell anyone but they found me before I could block them!
It’s not too late to block😅😅
